At all times in my prayers, - making supplication - if, by some means, even now, at any time, I may have a way opened, in the will of God, to come unto you;

Inasmuch as, having come to know God, not, as God, did they glorify him, or give him thanks, but were made fruitless in their reasonings, and darkened was their undiscerning heart,

We know, however, that, the sentence of God, is according to truth against them who, such things as these, do practise.

For there is no respect of persons with God; -

There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Now we know that, whatsoever things the law saith, to them who are within the law, it speaketh, in order that, every mouth, may be stopped and all the world come, under penal sentence, unto God.

Inasmuch as, by works of law, shall no flesh be declared righteous before him, - through law, in fact, is discovery of sin.

But now, apart from law, a righteousness of God hath been manifested, borne witness to by the law and the prophets, -

A righteousness of God, through faith in JesusChrist, unto all that have faith; for there is no distinction, -

Where, then, the boasting! It is excluded. Through what kind of law? Of works? Nay! but through a law of faith:

Now, unto him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned by way of favour but by way of obligation,

For, if they who are of law are heirs, made void is faith and of no effect is the promise.

For, the law, worketh out anger, but, where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was reckoned unto him,

Much more, then, having now been declared righteous by his blood, shall we be saved through him from the anger.

And, not only, so, but are even boasting in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, - through whom, now, the reconciliation we have received.

For, until law, sin was in the world, although sin is not reckoned when there is no law, -

Or know ye not that, we, as many as were immersed into Christ Jesus, into his death were immersed?

Of this taking note - that, our old man, was crucified together with him in order that the sinful body might be made powerless, that we should, no longer, be in servitude to sin;

Now, if we have died together with Christ, we believe that we shall also live together with him;

Knowing that, Christ having been raised from among the dead, no more dieth, - death, over him, no more, hath lordship, -

Know ye not that, unto whom ye are presenting yourselves as servants for obedience, servants ye are unto him unto whom ye are obedient, whether of sin unto death or of obedience unto righteousness?

In human fashion am I speaking, because of the weakness of your flesh; - for, just as ye presented your members as servants unto impurity and unto lawlessness for lawlessness, so now, present ye your members as servants unto righteousness for sanctification.

What fruit, therefore, had ye then - in things for which ye now are taking shame to yourselves? For, the end of those things, is death.

Whereas, now, having been freed from sin, and made servants unto God, ye have your fruit for sanctification and, the end, life age-abiding.

But, now, we have received full release from the law, by dying in that wherein we used to be held fast, so that we should be doing service - in newness of spirit and not in obsoleteness of letter.

For we know that, the law, is spiritual, - I, however, am a creature of flesh, sold under sin;

Now, if what I wish not the same I do, I consent unto the law that it is right.

Now, however, no longer am, I, working it out, but the, sin, that dwelleth in me:

I know, in fact, that there dwelleth not in me, that is, in my flesh, anything good; for, the wishing, lieth near me, but, the working out of what is right, not!

Now, if what I wish not, the same, I do, no longer am, I, working it out, but the, sin, that dwelleth in me.

Hence there is now, no, condemnation unto them who are in Christ Jesus;

For we know that, all creation, is sighing together, and travailing-in-birth-throes together until the present, -

In the selfsame way moreover, even the Spirit, helpeth together in our weakness, - for, what we should pray for as we ought, we know not, but, the Spirit itself, maketh intercession with sighings unutterable,

We know, further, that, unto them who love God, God causeth all things to work together for good, - unto them who, according to purpose, are such as he hath called;

Who is he that condemneth? Christ Jesuswho died? - Nay! rather was raised from among the dead, - who is on the right hand of God, who also is making intercession in our behalf?

Nay, in all these things, we are more than conquering through him that hath loved us.

Truth, say I, in Christ, I utter no falsehood, - my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit, -

For the scripture saith - No one that resteth faith thereupon, shall be put to shame?

For there is no distinction - of Jew or Greek, - for, the same Lord , is Lord of all, being rich unto all who call upon him;

But I say: Hath, Israel, not come to know? First, Moses, saith - I, will provoke you to jealousy on account of a no-nation, on account of an undiscerning nation, will I make you very angry.

God hath not cast off his people, whom he fore approved. Or know ye not, in the account of Elijah what the scripture saith, when he intercedeth with God against Israel?

But what saith unto him the response? I have left for myself seven thousand men, who, indeed, have not bowed a knee unto Baal.

If, however, by favour, no longer of works; else, favour, no longer proveth to be favour!

For, just as, ye, at one time had not yielded unto God, and yet now have received mercy by their refusal to yield,

So, these also, have now refused to yield, by your own mercy, in order that, themselves also, should now become objects of mercy;

For who hath come to know the mind of the Lord? Or who hath become his counselor?

Now, having gifts of favour, according to the favour given unto us, differing - whether prophesying, let us use it according to the proportion of our faith,

Unto no one, evil for evil rendering: providing honourable things before all men:

Let, every soul, unto protecting authorities be in subjection; for there is no authority save by God, and, they that are in being, have by God been arranged, -

And, this besides, - knowing the season - that it is an hour already for you out of sleep to be wakened; for, now, is our salvation nearer than when we believed:

For it is written - Living am, I, saith the Lord, unto me, shall bow every knee, and, every tongue, shall openly confess unto God.

No longer, then, upon one another, let us be sitting in judgment, but, this, judge ye rather - not to be putting a cause of stumbling before your brother or an occasion to fall.

I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus - that, nothing, is profane of itself, - save to him who reckoneth anything to be profane, unto that man, it is profane,

If, in fact, because of food, thy brother is being grieved, no longer, by the rule of love, art thou walking: - do not, by thy food, that man, be destroying, on whose behalf Christ died!

Now may, the God of the endurance and of the encouragement, give you, the same thing, to be regarding amongst one another, according to Christ Jesus;

Now, the God of the hope, fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that ye may surpass in the hope, in the power of Holy Spirit.

But, even as it is written - They shall see unto whom had been announced no tidings concerning him, and, they who had not heard, shall understand.

But, now, no longer having place in these regions, and having had, a longing, to come unto you a good many years, -

But, now, I am journeying unto Jerusalem, ministering unto the saints;

And know that, when I come unto you, in the fullness of the blessing of Christ, I shall come.

Now, the God of peace, be with you all. Amen.

Now, unto him who hath power to establish you, according to my glad-message - even the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of a sacred secret, in age-past times kept silent,

But now made manifest, and through means of prophetic scriptures, according to the command of the age-abiding God, for obedience of faith unto all the nations made known,
